Rhodesian Ridgebacks

I've had several generations of Rhodesian Ridgebacks and thoroughly enjoyed every minute with these intelligent, affectionate dogs. Because they come from hot, dry South Africa, they are well adapted to living on my ranch in arid southern Arizona. Though sweet-natured, they are also fearless, and excellent at keeping the javelinas, raccoons and mountain lions a safe distance away from my house. I enjoy taking them with me when I hike my favorite three-mile loop in the nearby park, and I love taking them to my summer home on Cortes Island, British Columbia.
